The Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism is proud to announce the sponsorship of the culturally renowned Dominican Republic Jazz Festival. Returning to the island country for its 17th year, the popular event brings together music aficionados, beach bums, foodies and nature lovers from around the world to celebrate international Latin Jazz musicians.

From Oct. 31-Nov. 3, the island resonates with hybrid Jazz and traditional Dominican Merengue soul. Visitors are invited to this free festival to enjoy rich island culture and gastronomy among breathtaking scenery, while dancing the night away wrapped in the island breeze.

"The Jazz Festival is the largest free cultural event in Dominican Republic," says Magaly Toribio, Marketing Advisor for the Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism. "The festivities are popular with locals and international tourists alike, and we are proud to host some of the world's most renowned musicians. Music is a key element of our culture and is deeply engrained into our everyday lives."
